Brian Pendleton (born 13th April1944 in Wolverhampton died 16th May2001 in Maidstone, Kent) was an original member of 60s pop group The Pretty Things. He was their rhythm guitarist and featured on their first two albums, The Pretty Things and Get The Picture and during the band's greatest commercial success, when they enjoyed hits such as Rosalyn and Don't Bring Me Down (1964) and Honey I Need (1965). Brian played the memorable slide guitar on Rosalyn and the Pretty Things sound of the period owes a great deal to his driving rhythm guitar playing. In December 1966, exhausted by life on the road, Pendleton quit the band and turned his back on pop stardom. He became an insurance underwriter and followed this career for over 20 years, although he still continued to play guitar. On 16th May2001 he was found dead by the door of his flat in Maidstone, Kent; he had been suffering from lung cancer.
